i have no clue what the programmer was thinking. if i read this correct
osdname is u8 *osdname; so a simple strdup() or strndup() would be ok
the comment seems to indicate that get_attrs[a].val_ptr could be NULL
but where is the check ?
Perhaps they are not using ascii here ? then a memdup(get_attrs[a].len)
would be better.
